Rooms are quite small and drains in the bathrooms get a bit smelly (even in winter!!). Lack of airconditioning means rooms get very... more

I was unsure why this hotel was so cheap when i booked it. When i arrived, i discovered the entire street in front of it was completely torn up. This was a minor inconvenience though, as my room faced the other way. Due to the construction, it was difficult to find. At 12,50 per night, parking was reasonable. The room... more

My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights and were pleasantly surprised by the standard of the hotel. The room was very quiet, clean and spacious. We didn't bother with breakfast (15 euros) as there are loads of bakeries nearby with delicious cakes and pastries. The location is great - about 10 minutes' walk into the city centre and there... more

Stayed in the Mercure for New Year 2007. Excellent,friendly staff. The most comfortable beds you could have wished for. Only downside to hotel is that it was way too hot.
